In windows you can hit alt+164 to create a n with a tilde over it..and like alt 161 to make a i with stress over it..etc...does linux have an equivalent system in it, or must you use the character map app, and do insert all the time? Just asking since i type several spanish papers=) Daum

Got it all workin, thanks guys. Daum

pentinum...it has a char map...and keyboard set up...i guess wi'll mess around with that=p Daum

1.4.1 mozilla..and i did the j2drske it hink....shrug i just download it from their site...installation was sucessful as i know..but the jvm still doesn't work...i would be glad to download install a whole new set of java files and such..just tell me which=) Daum

KK, well does anyone reccomend a certain one? I use gnome with fedora. Daum

So, that is the map page...but does linux have someting link that where i can just memorize the command to enter teh characters? Right now i have to keep doing insert symbol/char to do it...or copy and pastin. Daum

I think i had the same prob as you did when i first started out linux...lemme look and see if i can remember what happened and how i fixed it....what does it says when you type unmount /mnt/cdrom then if it works remount it...and try to look at the files. Daum

Not familiar with the prog, but you might check the config options...make sure that the mount location is correct(in fedora its /dev/cdrom for my dvd and /dev/cdrom1 for my cd writer...if that does not work...try the command mount /mnt/cdrom (if it was in my dvd drive) and it should throw an icon on the desktop..then click the icon and see if it shows hte file..it shoudl..if it doesn't not sure of your prob- i'm pretty new to linux too. Daum

hm what do you mean...i didn't set that up..it is universal in windows. never had to open apps,. Daum

Ok, So i am getting close to getting these files i stored(8 gigs) on my laptop(win xp on a network with my comp) , the closest i've got is through naut using smb:// then the ip. It keeps asking my for passwords, the laptop has the files set to share though. Help? The closest i've got using this way is i finally got into the files on the laptop, but then when i went to copy the first file it prompted a password, then it said i didn't not have permission to access them. Then after I failed witht hat password, I check the laptop on my diff comp(running win98 which i use to make sure the laptop is on the network) and i could not access the laptop, this happened last night. Whats going on? Help pls=) Daum

I keep installing them(flash, mplayer)...but when i go to watch a mplayer plugin one, it just is like loading mplayer plugin then doesn't do anything..and it is still not recognizing my flash plug in...how do if ix this? I have placed both plug ins in both my mozilla folders(mozilla and mozilla-1.4 something)...and they are in the plug in ones. Daum

now whenever i go to anysite with flash/java it just crashed my mozilla=(. Daum

Anyone familiar with it? How do you limit search results to like video/mp3/picture/software/document and such. Since right now when i search for music I get a crap load of other files are with it. Also, is there a way to clear/track on it? Daum

I got hte file dannypapper told met o install, (the JVM) it installed successfully, but when i went to run limewire.bin(if you have a diff prog for downloading music pls tell) it did this [root@localhost root]# ./LimeWireLinux.bin Preparing to install... tail: `-1' option is obsolete; use `-n 1' Try `tail --help' for more information. ./LimeWireLinux.bin: line 326: [: `)' expected, found -z WARNING!

I can't see my net work, i have a lap top that i can confirm that is on the network(check on diff comp that has windows neighbrhood) how do i get to this compt og et hte files? Daum

Heya, I just upgraded my linux 9.0 to fedora(redhat)...i use win me and it kept eating the boot menu so i used a boot disk for 9.0, and when i went to make boot disk for fedora i guess it messed up and did not create one. So does someone have a boot disk download i can get? Or a command that i can get into linux? Thanks Daum

i have a desktop (GUI) I did not upgrade though this time it was a fresh install of Fedora. Daum

WEll, I kinda gave up on having my windows partition on my computer too and i wanted to force myself to learn linux, so now i only have fedora installed. My only question is, after running up2date(i'm working on learning the yum updater prog since i saw someone suggested that) now there are two fedora's on the boot menu...but I have not installed any new ones =\. This only occured after running up2date and such. Also in yum, to get all of the updates is there a certain command i can do? I followed a webpages install instructions which left me after install lynx was done, not sure what to do now, i'm slowly learning though-=) Daum
